In New Mexico, 156,930 children are living in food-insecure households, making that 30.6 percent of children that have "uncertain access to adequate food." Washington, D.C. took a close second with 30 percent and Arizona ranked third with 29.9 percent. North Dakota has the lowest number of hungry children in its state with 10.2 percent.

"It’s shocking to learn that a third of our children aren’t able to access enough food to eat on a regular basis,” said Melody Wattenbarger, president and CEO of Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico.
